• With a non abrasive bathroom cleaner; merely wipe down the surface and rinse with water. It is a very simple process. The acrylic allows for a variety of interesting colors. The acrylic holds the color much longer as well.
Kohler has developed a line of Kohler corner bathtubs to suit every taste. You can choose from very traditional models, to very elegant.
Corner bathtubs allow for a much deeper and larger tub due to their additional space is gained vertically; rather than coming out into the room using up valuable floor space. You can purchase corner shower doors to fit your Kohler corner bathtub. You can also install shower curtain tracking on the ceiling and put up a wrap around shower curtain if you prefer.
Either method will require you to put some type of waterproof covering on the two walls behind your tub. There are a couple of options for this. Tile and waterproof bathroom paneling is the most often used material for this. Research your options before deciding.
Not having some type of shower enclosure does not prevent you from purchasing your Kohler corner bathtub and enjoying it as a bathtub alone. You can install the shower features at a later date.
